love the Japanese inspiration. well appointed and efficient.

quiet and tranquil- welcomed by a trio of grey kangaroos.

difficulty in using awning as we were therefore unable to keep out blazing 31* afternoon sun which meant two thirds of kitchen and eating area unable to be used for any length of time, for example, to have a lovely meal.

Location and general exterior design.

No airconditioning, no microwave and neither electric blanket worked. A vinyl floor and beanbags for seats in the Tv (very small) area are not what you would expect at this price point.

Unlikely to recommend this property

Wifi, pot belly fire was ready to go, however it was hot whilst we were there so we didn't use it, but imagine it would be required in Winter/Spring & Autumn.

The location wasn't anything special and I hated that the bedroom was so closed in without views into the surrounding bush. The house was full of little signs with directions for everything including directions on how high to fill the bath. The bath was one of the main reasons I chose this home for my getaway so then to arrive & discover that due to water shortages you shouldn't fill the bath more than 10cm high was disappointing. The house accommodated 2 people comfortably and would be uncomfortable with any more than that. The facilities were all very basic, very old TV so we were grateful for the WIFI & that we had a large laptop with us. I've stayed in many AirBNB's across the globe in recent years and felt this was very overpriced for what it was. (FYI: no microwave, fly wire doors had huge gaps that allowed bugs in, no coffee machine only an expresso pot, towels were like drying yourself with a loofah). It wasn't the relaxing getaway we had hoped for.

An architectural gem in the beautiful countryside

Such a lovely well designed home in a beautiful peaceful setting. We had such a relaxing stay, it was just what we needed for a quick weekend getaway. We enjoyed exploring the house, sitting by the cosy fire with a glass or two of wine and spotting kangaroos was definitely a highlight! It's such a great place to completely switch off, we limited our screen time and didn't once turn on the TV :) It was a chilly weekend so we were grateful for the electric blankets and of course the fireplace! Everything was spotless and well thought out and the bed was super comfy, what more could you ask for?! Chewton is a cute little town, we went to the Saturday farmers market and bought some nice fresh bread and veggies which was great. Castlemaine is a great little place to explore with nice cafes and the Mill which you can easily spend the entire day exploring. We also enjoyed exploring the Maldon farmers market. The town was very quaint and it almost feels like you've stepped back in time! Thank you for sharing such a cool little oasis in the beautiful countryside!
